Composer: James Horner. Personnel: James Horner (piano); George Doering (guitar). Audio Mixer: Simon Rhodes. Recording information: Phantom Recording, Sherman Oaks, CA. James Horner's score for director Vadim Perelman's film adaptation of Laura Kasischke's novel The Life Before Her Eyes, starring Uma Thurman and Evan Rachel Wood, is low-key to the point of being minimalist much of the time. A keening voice, sustained strings, synthesizer washes, slow piano notes (played by the composer), and the occasional intrusion of a sort of musical buzz-saw sound (possibly the guitar of George Doering or created by synthesizer) characterize the long cues, which recall Brian Eno's ambient recordings and some especially quiet new age music. In addition to that buzz saw, the music gets loud momentarily during "Diana Gets Hit by a Car," presumably to accompany the moment of impact, and at the start of the final 12-minute track, "Young Diana's Future -- A Future That Could Have Been...." Musically, that future doesn't sound much different from the present, except for being played at a bit higher volume. This is a calm but intense score for a film drama with similar qualities. ~ William Ruhlmann Life Before Her Eyes Soundtrack Music | List Price | $18.98 (You save $4.89) | | Category | Rock/Pop Albums, Soundtrack CDs | | Label | Lakeshore | | Orig Year | 2008 | | All Time Sales Rank | 260119  | | CD Universe Part number | 7652544 | | Catalog number | 34006 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Apr 15, 2008 | | Studio/Live | Studio | | Mono/Stereo | Stereo | | Producer | James Horner; Simon Rhodes | | Engineer | Simon Rhodes | | Additional Info | Original Soundtrack |

Original score composed and conducted by John Barry. This is a Super Audio CD playable only on Super Audio CD players. Original score composed and conducted by John Barry. Recorded at Columbia Studios, Los Angeles, California. Composer: John Barry. John Barry's fifth Oscar-winning score is a profoundly moving body of music, generally (though not entirely) elegiac in tone, very much like the movie for which it was written. It's also a bit of a mixed bag, occasionally falling back on material that will be familiar to fans of the James Bond movies that Barry scored during the early/mid-'60s. The main title theme uses some of those devices -- dense, heavy string passages adjacent to trumpet calls -- but it is hardly representative of the full score. The real heart of Dances With Wolves is the pensive, tragic "John Dunbar Theme," which is far closer in spirit to Barry's music for Somewhere in Time or They Might ...
